    I would hate us to move into some soulless stadium on the outskirts of the city.

    Not that worried tho. It will never happen. I wouldn't be surprised if Dundee fans would rather stay put and see Dens upgraded with any investment money that's available.

    Dens covers a large area and a new stand and facilities at each side would easily bring it up to date.

    I like the fact that we have 2 professional clubs that share a street. I hope the city never loses that.

    My original post was about renting Tannadice, not sharing it. There are still lots of questions and debate to happen in the coming few years.
    Lots of talk about us becoming shared tenants at new campy, how would this be financed, would the yankee owners use the bnbs and ourselves to finance their ambitions. Who would bennefit fron this. When the dundee American owners want to sell up and move on where does this leave us, if we are tenants. How can 2 professional teams share admin,training facilities, commercial. As I asked, would you like our owners to have them as tenants playing at Tannadice, having limited access?

    That's not in the Texans plans though. They're hoping to make big money off a new mixed development.

    Canny see the Foo Fighters playing there though 😃

    It's Campy or nothing. They'll make money from Campy, no doubt. They'll make absolutely nothing by investing in Dens, therefore won't.

    If the Nou Campy doesn’t come off, they could do worse than open up discussions over options for Dens with Monorail Bob……………..

    I would hate to move and certainly not to somewhere like they are planning

    Anyone who has been to Livi, Falkirk and fermers knows that these new grounds are awful

    The only good new grounds tend to be in England when there are 30,000+ and it’s enclosed. The smaller new stadiums just don’t work and have no atmosphere

    I actually think St Mirren's is pretty decent. 🤔 It's the location I don't like about the fun's proposal. Culturally it would be miles away from the experience football fans in Scotland would want. The notion is very American. ☹️
